The New (old) Planning for the Big Societyfutureoflondon
This document discusses several proposed policies in the Localism Bill related to community empowerment, including the Community Right to Buy public and private assets, the Neighbourhood Right to Plan, and the Right to Build housing. It outlines key questions around designating assets and areas, criteria for plans, oversight processes, funding support, and engaging local partners. It also presents examples of community land trusts and housing cooperatives in the UK and argues that these "self-organising" models could play a larger role in housing provision and placemaking if given greater access to land and support.
The document discusses the Homes and Communities Agency's (HCA) role in delivering quality, sustainable places and housing in England. Key points include: (1) The HCA focuses on affordable housing, renewing social housing, land regeneration, and economic development with limited public funding. (2) The HCA works with local partners to help meet local priorities and the government's objectives on localism and growth. (3) Successful projects demonstrate principles of placemaking like enriching existing communities, connecting places, and designing for long-term change.
This document summarizes Charles Correa's Artistvillage housing project in Belapur, India from 1986. The 550 unit development was built on 5.4 hectares of land and featured ground+1 story buildings arranged in clusters to encourage community. Each unit had its own private open space for potential expansion. While some original structures remain, most have been rebuilt larger in concrete as residents' aspirations changed. The open community spaces and hierarchy of the development have helped it maintain a sense of community over time despite changes to individual units.

Place RESI 2014: Kevin McGeough, Homes & Communities AgencyPlace North West
- Upton, Northampton is a 1,400 home neighbourhood on a 44 hectare site that was developed as part of Northampton's sustainable urban extension program. The development was master planned and had a design code produced to ensure high design quality over its 12 year build out. It has successfully delivered a variety of housing types of consistently high design and has maintained sales through the recession by increasing densities. However, providing the intended mixed-use village center has proven difficult. The development's sustainable drainage system has allowed building in a flood risk area.

The document discusses improving public spaces by understanding how people use and value them. It suggests that temporary projects can test new concepts before being made permanent. Successful public spaces consider universal human behaviors and needs, while involving both the public and private sectors as well as communities. Improving the economy and people's well-being requires incremental "stepping stones" where everyone contributes to building on existing strengths.
Steve Warren, ISAN and Beam Seminar, Wakefield Kate Watson
The document summarizes the design process for renovating the Bull Ring space in Wakefield, England. Key aspects included researching the site's history, understanding policy contexts, analyzing movement patterns, and clarifying design objectives. The design concept aimed to open up the space, reduce vehicular influence, and create a new identity centered around a torus-shaped fountain alluding to the site's original use. While the resulting space was an improvement, some elements like lighting and paving could have been stronger to better achieve the design goals.

15 November Spaceshaper 9 14 introduction. pptKate Watson
Spaceshaper is a toolkit developed by Cabe Space to evaluate public spaces. It uses workshops with 8 themes and questionnaires to assess a space's quality. Spaceshaper 9-14 is a version tailored for young people that engages them in the evaluation process. The workshops involve site visits, activities, discussion, and rating different aspects of the space. This helps identify both strengths and weaknesses to inform improvements. Facilitators guide the workshops and work with young co-facilitators to capture feedback and ensure the process is constructive and respectful.
15th November Interconnections PresentationKate Watson
This document discusses a community art project that focused on creating interconnections in a site through public art installations. It involved workshops with local schools and colleges to generate ideas for gateways, bridges, playable spaces, and a nature trail to enhance movement and heritage. Participants created poems, paintings, and models of their visions, which were then turned into an artist's impressions, branded for the site, and showcased in a community event and exhibition through a film and ideas book.
